One the drivers side rear parking brake, when it comes out of the drum does it go outside then over the leaf springs or under then inside the leaf springs, before it goes through that first bracket that is mounted to the frame? This is for a M1008. Thanks.

I mounted a 12v winch to the front of the M1008. Now I need to figure out wiring. My M1008 is the original 24v system. Can I attach the positive and negative on the winch directly to one of the batteries? If so, should it be the front or rear batter?

I'd like to add some additional gauges and not rely on just the idiot lights. I was thinking temp gauge, oil pressure and maybe a tach. Will the senders for the temp and oil pressure send actual data to a gauge or are they just good for the idiot lights? Will I need to install new temp and oil...

Howdy folks. Bought my first CUCV, a M1009, about 12 years ago. Always regretted selling it so I just picked up a M1008 this week. Taking some time to go through it and putting together a list of everything it needs. First on my list is the wiper motor. It is really slow and has almost no...

The M1009 started right up this morning. Drive about half a mile down the mountain to a neighbor to pickup some lumber. Went to start the truck and I heard a loud buzzing kinda sound under the dash and then nothing. No lights, no starter, no radio. I have no electrical at all. Battery was just...

What is the size of the plug head? Nothing in my tool box fits it. On a M1009.

I am going to buy a ton of parts to start fixing up the M1009. I have the military parts manual and was wondering if there was an x-reference anywhere. I want to be able to find that parts I need using the part numbers in the parts manual. It seems like it would be the easiest way. TIA.

I lost most of the bolts that hold the top on my M1009. Anyone know what size bolts I need? I know the ones that connect to the front cab are larger than the bolts that connect to the bed. I am going into town tomorrow and can swing by Fastenal if I know the correct size. Thanks.

I have an overheating issue. The radiator cap failed a pressure test, it will not hold at just below 15PSI. I want to pressure test the cooling system as well, to look for any leaks. What is the correct PSI to test the cooling system? I will also be replacing the thermostat and flushing the...

I currently own a M1009 and enjoy the limited time I get to spend driving it. I need something that I can use to haul trash to the dump, lumber, dirt, etc. I am starting to look for a M1008 or similar model pickup. Just no dually. If you have one or no of one in ID, please let me know. I am...

There are two basic injectors for the 6.2 & 6.5 motors. I am in CA and my CUCV is in ID so I can not go out and check this. Do our 6.2's use the short or long injectors? I can not remember what year they made the change. I am going to change out my injectors this year and have 4 good short...

I purchased my M1009 about two and a half years ago. Brought it to my mechanic and asked him to get it in shape to make the drive from Santa Barbara, CA to my cabin near Idaho City, ID. Made the drive without a hitch and it has been up in Idaho ever since. Only maintenance done since then was an...

Hey all. New to the HMMWV forum as I recently purchased my first Hummer H1. I have been on the board a while as I also have a CUCV M1009. My 1995 H1 Wagon needs to be painted. I am thinking about going with a Winter Camo paint job. Can anyone provide me with a pattern and color codes? Also, any...

My 1985 M1009 is in Idaho and has been sitting all winter. Has not been started since November and has been completely buried, to the roof line, in snow for a while. It was a much worse winter than expected and I have not been up to the cabin to do anything about it. I am going up in a few weeks...

I have a M1009 and love it. Very reliable and easy to work on. But, it is not a pickup. I plan ok keeping it at my vacation cabin in Idaho. I need a truck for here on the ranch and would like a 1 ton. That is my big draw to the M1008, that and the diesel. If anyone knows of or hears about a...

Hey all. I promised I searched and could not find anything. I just replaced my front seats with some nice new comfy racking seats. I have the stock rear seat in my M1009. My new front seats and all my replacement interior panels are black. I want to get a slip-on cover for the rear seat in...

Everytime someone flips either switch for the blackout lights, it pops a fuse and the headlights won't work until it is replace. I know I could track down the problem with enough effort, but I don't need the blackout lights. If I disconnect the switches or cut the wires going into them, will the...

Ok. I have decided to make the CUCV my daily driver when I am at my place in Idaho. It is several miles of dirt roads to get to my place and then 30 miles of a very twisty highway. Since I will spend a considerable amount of time driving it, I need to spruce it up a bit. I am looking to replace...

I am looking to install some racing seats that allow me to use a 5 point harness. I am installing a S&M Roll Cage also. I would like to retain the factory seat brackets to make the install easy. When I look at the brackets, the rear are lower and use an arm to the slider to make then level with...
